soar LEAF.

This invention relates to im'proveinents in soap leaves, and its objects are to provide a cleaning medium 1n the form of a pad, Aand to provide a pad of this character which is 5 neat and sanitary, and which may be carried in the pocket.

.1 Another objebt is to provide a soapof this character, which has qualities that prevent Vsticking to the hands, and whichwill lather 1c freely and quickly.

To attain these advantages, I provide a soap leaf, having a base of-paper and having a series of yperforations. lin the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view w ofa single soap leaf. Fig. 2 is afragmentary Q sectionalfview of a vsoap leaf enlarged. Fig. is-a perspective View of a pad of the soap leaves.

Referring tothe drawings, the pad 11 has 2o cover elements 12,0f' paper, and consistsof a number of soap fleavesll Each soap leaf consists of a base 14', 'ofl thimpaper, and coated on both sides with;v @thin layer 15, of soap. r rIhe leaves each havezaseries of perforations 16. (These per'foratons serve to prevent the stiekin of the leaf to Lthe hands .when used. 'lhey urther cause the soap to lather more quickly, and the papermaterial serves as Ia mild abrasive in connection with the detergent materials. The abrasive eifectv is at;

tained by employing a paper fabric that disintegrates under vigorous rubbing with the hands. The soap leaves are very thin and therefore a number of them will form a thin pad as shown. Their eiliciency is increased by providing the perforations in each leaf.

From the foregoin vdescription and drawings, it may be seen t at I have provided an ellicient orm of soap fleaves, which may be carried in a sanitary manner inthe pocket.

I claim:

1. A soap leaf, consisting of a base yelement of thin paper, and a coating of soa material on each side of the pa er, the lea having a series of perforatienst erein, and. said paper fabric being disintegrable under vigorous rubbing. l

2. A soap leaf, comprising a base element of thin paper disposed between two layers of soap-material, and perforations in lthe leaf vformed thereby.

' 3. A soap leaf having two layers of soap material, and a disintegrable paper fabric element disposed between the soap material layers, and having 'a series of perforations 55 therein. i

In testimony whereof, I hereunto ailx myI Signature.
